Elysian Shadows

This guy sure brings up some very concrete, solid points

I'm quite curious to hear what you guys think of this mans position, and if there are any ladies here I'm curious to hear what you think as well. By the way, one of the things I don't like is that he over generalizes way too much. Some women are as he describes, some are not. Anyway, hopefully I don't get massacered for this

Yeah, I've seen this before, but this guy is faking it to make money. He has a book out, too.

Women can't do math

*points at self* So much for my A's in Calc 3 and Differential Equations. Nyan.

He is a genius.

wait wait wait.... Lusikkas a girl??? But she programs games... and watches anime.... Woah I think my mind just exploded... I always thought SHE looked a little girly... but I was never sure??? i'm just kidding...

No no no, I'm obviously just a Bishounen (beautiful boy) 8D

Though continuing with the topic as a serious subject, I think what he says is BS. I don't really like women much...
At least, the ones my age seem really shallow and don't have their shit together, but this seems to be better the further you get into maths and sciences. Us technical ladies tend to be more sane.
We have our flaws, like being overemotional, but guys have their flaws too, like thinking with their pensises at times. ;D

My mom always taught me that two heads are better than one.

Ha ha, nice. Can I get your mom's number!? just kidding.

Women can't do math

I don't believe this is true, although in all of the higher level math classes I've attended (yes, absolutely every single one), there was not a single female (except for one professor). I personally don't think that a girl is any less capabable than a guy, its just society that makes it seem this way; and most women (subconsciously I'd say), play into that role. Also, from personal experience, I remember as I was growing up, all of my buddies (boys) were tinkers, we constantly took things apart (we love destruction ), and tried to figure out how stuff worked. Admittedly, my sister and her friends were playing with dolls and wearing my mom's clothes trying to look more lady-like and mature. I don't understand why things are this way, but my guess is just how society brings us up.

I don't know how high in math you are, but there have always been a decent amount of ladies in my math and engineering classes.
I'm one of the few CS types, though, which I find odd. I bet there are even less Computer Engineers, too.
( Notice I'm the only woman on this semi-programming-oriented board '_' )

For "women make terrible workers", I find that I slack off the least of the same-aged coemployees.

I don't spend men's money, I spend my own. Even when dating Brandon, I almost always had more money than him.
Though I wouldn't mind it when Jake or Brandon paid for my lunch. >D
(But on the same note, I think I paid for theirs about the same amount as well)

I really do think this guy is just saying this stuff to get publicity, and also for the lulz, in a sense (just saying stuff to get people riled up, and to laugh at those who take him seriously).

There has to at least be one more girl that has posted at least once on these forums.... I mean falco gave the math in his gay beanie versus that awesome hat (which I noticed was at one time placed upon the lich king's head... lol) anyways there must be girls around here somewhere we just have to find them... My money is on trufun... jk rofl...
^the all lead to the next...

The "women can't drive" point is very valid in the area I'm from. Nearly every near-accident I've had involved a women driver. The rest of his points are hit or miss. Certainly there are all types of women as are all types of men. Saying that "all" women are this or that is a bit absurd. Now, I bow to the only girl on this forum for being awesome.

Don't hurt me. I'm not like Dick...
